These Primers Will Prevent Your Eyeliner From Smudging

April 18, 2018

Our hot and humid climate isn’t the most conducive for makeup. In fact, more often than not we find our eyeshadow smearing or our eyeliner smudging. And because many Singaporeans tend to have combination skin and oily lids, this problem is exacerbated. To prevent looking like a crazy panda-bear, we’ve put together a list of our favourite eye primers that not only help your makeup last longer, but go on more smoothly.

This paraben-free formula promises no creasing, more vibrant colour and smoother makeup application. It has a polymer technology that fills in any imperfections on the skin’s surface, prepping your lids for all eyeshadow.
